Liang Yueming went into the house to check on her mother-in-law's condition. As soon as she entered, she saw her father-in-law, He Siyi, wringing out a towel, preparing to wash her mother-in-law's face.
She quickly went over and reached out to take it, saying, "Dad, let me do it."
"No need, I can handle it," He Siyi said gently.
He wrung out the towel, gently placed it over his wife's face, and slowly wiped it away.
Fu Yunfang sat there like a little child, extremely well-behaved.
After receiving treatment with the medications from Shiyue, both He Siyi and Fu Yunfang's health improved significantly.
He Siyi's herpes has completely subsided, and Fu Yunfang's herpes has almost disappeared in other areas except for the most severe one on her waist.
As the physical pain lessened, Fu Yunfang's mental state also improved.
Although I don't know many people yet, at least I won't be in a state of constant fear or need someone to be by my side for even a minute.
She can even walk around the house by herself sometimes.
Just like a child, they begin to be curious about the outside world.
Everyone thought this was a good sign, indicating that she was slowly opening up her inner self.
Liang Yueming stood there watching her father-in-law's actions, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
She thought of her home again.
I remembered that chaotic family.
Liang Yueming couldn't help but wonder what would happen if someone in their family got the same illness as her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
Without even needing to think deeply, her heart told her that if this were to happen, then what awaited that person would be hell on earth!
At this moment, she became even more determined to sever all ties with that family!
After thinking it through, Liang Yueming suddenly felt enlightened.
She silently withdrew from the house and returned to the kitchen.
At this moment, He Liping had already served breakfast and was sitting at the table eating slowly.
Seeing her walk over, he pointed to the corn porridge next to him and said, "I ladled some out for you and let it cool down. It shouldn't be so hot now. You eat first, and then you can get back to work later."
From now on, you don't need to worry about the two little ones. We'll continue as before; whoever gets up eats. Just leave the food here for them. They can eat when they want, and if they don't want to, don't worry about it. They're grown up now; they won't go hungry.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yueming couldn't help but laugh.
"You know how temperamental the second son is. If you don't take care of him, he'll actually go hungry. Have you forgotten that year when he spent his summer vacation at home? He left a room full of stuff and starved himself to the point of having low blood sugar."
This family, when they get into research, they really forget to eat and sleep.
He Liping said, "It's alright, things are different now. He lives with Professor Liang now. He can go without food and drink himself, but he wouldn't dare neglect his teacher's needs. Don't worry, he wouldn't want his teacher to go hungry."
The third brother is the same; he has Shiyue looking after him.
He Liping muttered a few more words, and it was clear that he felt a little sentimental about his younger brothers growing up and becoming independent. There was even a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Liang Yueming ignored him.
These feelings disappear once you vent them; don't worry about them.
She sat down next to her husband and said, "Now that we have a whole family to eat together, we need to decide on the living expenses."
He Liping raised his head.
Seeing her husband's brows furrowed, Liang Yueming glanced at him unhappily and said, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm afraid of being taken advantage of?"
He Liping was a little embarrassed.
He coughed and said, "We're the older brother and sister-in-law..."
“It is precisely because we are the eldest brother and sister-in-law that we must establish these rules,” Liang Yueming interrupted him.
“You know I don’t like to be out and about, plus I have to look after Jiajia and take care of my mother-in-law, so I want to discuss with Shiyue that she can do the grocery shopping from now on.”
I inquired about vegetables yesterday; you can buy them from the camp's vegetable garden or the canteen. The canteen also sells meat and eggs, but if you want better quality, you'll have to buy them from the fishermen.
I think Shiyue would be willing to do this.
But if we entrust the shopping to Shiyue, we'll have to pay her as well. We have such a large family to feed; we can't expect Shiyue to cover all the expenses, can we?
He Liping then understood what his wife meant and became even more embarrassed.
He quickly said, "We still have some money at home, so you can give it to her first. When Deputy Commander Lü comes back, he'll definitely bring up our salary issue. Once we have our salaries, everything will be much easier."
Liang Yueming sighed: "I have no problem giving her the money, but the key is whether Shiyue is willing to accept it! She bought a lot of fish and shrimp this morning, and I think it must cost at least two or three yuan. I offered to pay her, but she absolutely refused, saying that she would have Lixuan clean them up before delivering them, so I wouldn't have to do it myself."
Therefore, this matter of money must be discussed upfront. We can't keep letting that couple pay for it. Shiyue is a good person, and I don't want this kind of thing to create a rift in the future.”
"You don't need to worry about the money. I'll talk to Shiyue later. From now on, your mother and I will cover the expenses."
He Siyi came out of the house at some point and spoke from behind.
"Dad!" The couple were both startled and quickly stood up.
He Si shook his head at them, gesturing for them to sit down. Then he took the basin to the bathroom, emptied the water, and rinsed the towels.
Then he came out and said, "When Lixuan and Shiyue got married, I gave her all the savings that your mother and I had accumulated."
When we lived in the countryside, Shiyue arranged all our food and drink, and we agreed that the expenses would come from our savings. It's the same now.
Yueming, your consideration is correct, but now is not the time to discuss this. We should wait until we meet with Deputy Commander Lü before making any decisions.
Just like before, all living expenses are still paid from our savings, and Shiyue manages the money.
"You just need to take care of things at home; you don't need to worry about the rest."
Liang Yueming had forgotten everything if her father-in-law hadn't reminded her.
She suddenly remembered that Li Xue and Professor Liang had been sent to the countryside!
The two have had a tough time these past two years and probably have no money left.
If I bring up the issue of living expenses at this point, it would be so awkward for both of us!
At that moment, she felt extremely guilty and quickly said, "Dad, I understand."
Shi Yue and He Lixuan had no idea that their early arrival at the market had caused their sister-in-law to think so much.
They're currently in the space together, figuring out how to put the seaweed on the shelves!
Actually, listing products is something that Shiyue is already very familiar with, so there's no need to waste time doing it in the little house.
But He Lixuan was very curious!
He had always been extremely interested in that scale and wanted to know exactly how it assessed the price of products.
Therefore, now that such an opportunity has presented itself, he naturally wouldn't let it slip by.
Shiyue didn't bring all the seaweed into the hut, since she really needed to dry some of it.
It's mainly just for show.
As for what to give to Chu Xia and the others, Shi Yue wasn't in a hurry.
She's going to the fishing village this afternoon, and she's only been here a few days; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
